Fitting health into your business takes time. Time is at a premium for everyone, innovators, start-ups and entrepreneurs. Wasting time is easy to do where health is concerned.<\/p>\n<p>It is easy to do, because there is so much misinformation where health is concerned. Health is big business. We are all looking for a quick and easy way to understand and incorporate health into our lives and so it can be tempting to throw caution to the wind. Sometimes we don\u2019t ask the right questions.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the past three days students have asked me the following questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Is it true my underwire bra will give me breast cancer?<\/li>\n<li>Should I get a colon cleanse to rid myself of toxins?<\/li>\n<li>Is Splenda one molecule away from formaldehyde?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>How can I help these people stop wasting their time and energy? How can I bring them to health instead of scaring them away from it?

Here are my answers:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>What? Unless your bra is radio active, you\u2019re safe.<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m not sure what nonspecific toxins you\u2019re worried about but you already have a built in system that cleans your colon. If you feel you must help your colon, then consume vegetables in the usual route.<\/li>\n<li>Oh for god\u2019s sake. Water (H20) is one molecule away from air (02) but that doesn\u2019t make water air, nor does any chemical reaction in the body convert water to air.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sometimes I\u2019m a little less sarcastic, but after a few days of heading off discussions about juice fasts, the danger of vaccinations, or evil microwave ovens, I sometimes wonder where our common sense has gone. I only partially blame the question-askers for their fears. I do blame the internet, fringe media, and late night infomercials but after that, it\u2019s our job to ask the questions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"left\"><p>If you really want to save the world, step away from the internet and get some exercise.<span id=\"tweetquote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/wary-sunlight.flywheelsites.com\/opinion\/never-listen-to-the-experts-when-building-a-brand-listen-to-your-gut\/&amp;via=unreasonable&amp;text=&quot;If you really want to save the world, step away from the internet and get some exercise.&quot;\"><i class=\"fa fa-twitter\"><\/i> \u00a0Tweet This Quote<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To that end, a dog\u2019s mouth is not cleaner than a human&#8217;s, giving up all carbohydrates is lunacy, and if binge eating is bad for you then fasting is bad as well (unless for religious reasons).<\/p>\n<p>If you think about these things for just a few minutes you will see that none of them make any sense in this world.
